Kelly Clarkson made headlines when - following the cancellation of her summer tour and after a highly publicized feud with her record label - she fired her powerful manager, Jeff Kwatinetz of the Firm in Los Angeles.

Now, the former Idol winner, whose new album (My December) has been met with awful reviews, has signed on to be managed by Nashville-based Starstruck Entertainment.

Reba McEntire's husband, Narvel Blackstock, is the CEO of Starstruck Entertainment and will serve as Clarkson's personal manager.

Clarkson has been a lifelong fan of McEntire's. Hopefully her husband will be able to guide Kelly in the right direction going forward.
